but if a vendor does ship "btree" or "hash" drivers for Postfix, they really should change the defaults.
I assume here Viktor meant "does NOT ship". The prob is that with so long history of btree/hash, it isn't easy to switch away from it. Changing defaults is trivial, but it isn't clear which new default to choose (perhaps lmdb), and the main prob is to convert existing maps from hash/btree to the new default during upgrades. We had an unpleasant experience when BDB changed the format in an incompatible way, so all maps had to be rebuilt. Without changing the config it was easier, but it already was difficult for the users, despite some attempts to automate it. Now not only the maps has to be rebuilt, but also the config(s) has to be changed. I'm not yet sure how it would be done. And even which new default to choose.
